Economy and Infrastructure

economy

The Silbersee near Frielendorf

For around 150 years, until the 1960s, lignite mining and briquette production were the economic basis of the core town and the surrounding villages. Frielendorf was one of the most important lignite mining areas in Hesse, and opencast mines shaped the landscape. The village itself was dominated by the Briquette factory of the Frielendorf union . In the 1920s around 1400 people worked in the Frielendorfer mining industry. A total of around 26.5 million tons of brown coal were mined and around 6.5 million tons of briquettes were produced. The “Hassia” brand briquettes were known far beyond the region.

With the end of coal mining in Frielendorf, a drastic structural change began, from mining and industry to tourism. The centerpiece of this structural change was the conversion of a large open- cast mine into a bathing and fishing lake , the Silbersee , the surroundings of which have long since been renatured and around which a holiday village has been created.

The community belongs to the North Hessian Transport Association . The next train stations are Wabern, Schwalmstadt-Treysa, Borken (Hessen) and Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe.
